What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.
Is it normal for the temperature to go up on a thermometer when it has come out of a ice-water bath for 1 minute?
Assuming that the surroundings are above the freezing point of water - yes - it is normal for the temperature on the thermometer to go up. It may still remain elevated even if plunged back into the ice bath since the thermometer has mass and can absorb some energy while out of the bath. There is also the phenomena that in some thermometers even when the temperature drops, the thermometer fluid sometimes remains elevated unless you "shake down" the thermometer.
Why is the thermometer not suitable to measure the freezing point and boiling point of water?
Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the temperature.
What effect does the use of an uncalibrated thermometer have on the boiling point of a liquid?
The thermometer's reading of the point the liquid boils may not be accurate.
What instrument measures boiling point?
You need a thermometer.
Where a thermometer should be kept in determining melting point of ice?
fordetermining point of ice,the thermometer should be kept
Why are the temperatures of the melting point of ice boiling point of water called fixed point in calibrating the thermometer?
it is because they were consistent at melting and boiling point

If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.
Why do you use pure ice in determining a lower fixed point of a thermometer?
If ice contains any other dissolved material, the freezing point of the mixture would be lower than the freezing point of pure water or ice.
Why does thermometer in 2001 Ford explorer flash ice?
The outside temperature is at or below the freezing point , so there might be ice on the road surface that makes it slippery
What is the working and construction of thermometer?
WORKING: Place the bulb of the thermometer filled with mercury in a vessel ov small pieces of ice the mercury will arise in the tube and will come to rest at a certain point.this point shows the melting point of ice. CONSTRUCTION:A thermometer consists of a glass bulb filled with mercury.A cappilary tube arises from this bulb.Due to the narrow bore of the tube a small change in the volume of the mercury becomes significiantly visible.
What type of the thermometer would use to measure the temperature of ice?
dial thermometer
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcholic thermometer?
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
How do you get the kelvin for the freezing point for water?
You stick a thermometer graded in Kelvin into a mixture of ice and water. It should read something close to 273.15
What is the most suitable thermometer for measuring boiling point of water?
- a thermometer with mercury - a thermometer with thermoresistance
What determines the upper and lower fixed points of a thermometer?
Upper fixed point is the temperature of pure water boiling at normal atmospheric pressure.Lower fixed point is the temperature of a mixture of pure ice and pure water at normal atmospheric pressure. Each thermometer has a scale containing an upper and lower fixed points depending on the use of this thermometer for specific measurements.
Does salt melt ice?
no...........try it with a thermometer, just put ice in a cup, add salt then check the thermometer...........instead of going up, it will go down
